I learned to type on the original Macintosh, worshipped my click wheel iPod, and still believe in Apple TV. I am an enthusiastic Apple evangelist in pretty much every aspect of my life. But I have never been excited about a single Apple announcement until today.

As of this week, Apple has discontinued the iPhone 5 entirely, focusing instead on the iPhone 5S, the iPhone 5C, and the iPhone 4S. While it was widely expected that Apple would take the smaller display of the iPhone 4S out of the equation entirely, it would seem instead that the company opted for ease […]

iPhone 5C hands-on
Posted in: Today's ChiliWe’ve not seen a plastic iPhone since the 3GS, but the iPhone 5C wants to prove that the durable, easily molded material is long overdue a revival. Launched alongside the iPhone 5S this morning, and taking the spot in the midrange that we’d expected to see the iPhone 5 demoted to, the polycarbonate 5C uses […]

T-Mobile just announced that it will release the two new iPhones that Apple has announced earlier today on September 20th. It was rumored a few weeks back that T-Mobile is going to be one of the carriers that will offer the iPhones on September 20th, the day that Apple officially releases both of them. The carrier has confirmed this, it starts taking pre-orders for iPhone 5C from September 13th. Right now current and prospective T-Mobile iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C customers can pre-register their interest at the carrier’s website.
Both new iPhones were officially unveiled today after months of endless rumors, most of which have actually turned out to be true. The iPhone 5C is indeed made from polycarbonate and comes in five different colors, its internal hardware is similar to the iPhone 5 as expected. iPhone 5S comes with the much rumored fingerprint sensor, an improved front and rear camera, gold/champagne color and a faster processor. The 16GB iPhone 5C costs $99 on contract whereas the 16GB iPhone 5S costs $199. Since T-Mobile eliminated its contract plans earlier this year, it will be offering both new iPhones on its new annual service Simple Choice Plan. Customers may also opt for the Jump! program which offers comprehensive insurance for the device and allows them to upgrade to a new device more frequently.

Apple today introduced the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s, and though the iPhone 5c is the less expensive of the two, it’s nonetheless very impressive hardware. I got some hands-on time with the 5c immediately following the presentation, and the plastic-backed beauty leaves a very good impression thanks to its single-piece case design and lightness in the hand.
The iPhone 5c comes in five different colors, including blue, green, pink, yellow and white. It’s packing an A6 chip, and the Retina display we came to know and love with the iPhone 5. Another big plus from the iPhone 5c vs. the 5 is that it packs more LTE bands than any other iPhone ever, and gets better battery life than its predecessor.
All of that is made more impressive by the fact that the iPhone performs terrifically, and looks fantastic. The colors really pop, and the case fits solidly in the hand and thanks to a slightly rubberized feel it should be easier to hold onto than any previous iPhone as well. The color-match wallpapers add to the charm of the overall package, and that’s likely to appeal to customers who just want a device that looks great out of the box and doesn’t require any laborious customization.

The attendant cases that Apple has designed are more substantial than you might initially believe from just looking at them from a distance. They feel very solid, and could likely shield your device from considerable impact. They’re lined with microfiber and soft to the touch, and they come in a variety of colors which contrast pleasingly with the iPhone 5c itself. The cut-outs in the iPhone 5c case also help the new colors really pop.
I’m maybe most impressed by how light and yet solid the iPhone 5C feels. While it may not quite live up to the ultra-luxe metal and glass feel of the iPhone 5 and now 5c, it doesn’t feel like a cheap device; this is a premium phone, despite the price tag and somewhat older internals. Based on my first impressions, I imagine the iPhone 5c will have plenty of fans when it goes up for pre-order on September 13 – this is a phone that offers a lot of value at its price point, and improves upon the iPhone 5, which is a first for Apple’s smartphone lineup mid-tier device.

We’re glad you asked because we’ve laid it all out just past the break.

29 bucks. That’s what Apple wants you to spend in a plastic case that will make your new plastic iPhone 5C look like a game of Connect Four. Today, Apple has turned the iPhone case market into a pathetic parody of itself.
